Why!!!

So there I was riding in a car from the Temple in Idaho Falls to Pocatello this last Saturday morning feeling thankful for the Ensign a friend had given me to read on the way home. There was a plethera of conversation going on in the car but to be honest I didn't feel much like talking so I tried to bury myself in talks about being prepared for general conference and the roles of the Relief Society. I finally succeeded in ignoring those talking sufficiently enough that it got really quite quiet and peaceful....when suddenly I felt bad for ignoring the person sitting next to me so I decided to ask a quick question so that I might simply talk a minute and then end the conversation politely instead of just ignoring them. Well it didn't quite happen that way, and in fact it became increasingly more difficult to get lost in reading....especially when the person sitting on the other side of me dropped out of the conversation completely while texting somebody, which in turn gave me an idea to check my phone and find I had received a text message as well while my phone had been off. So I responded but soon that conversation ended and it was back to sort of listening to the person next to me again.....I just wanted to scream! I had felt bad and just wanted to be polite but wish I had been content with the silence I had earned moments earlier. So another "ahah" moment came and I decided I could scream in a text message to 10 random (well maybe not so random) friends. And that was the word I said: Why!!!
Surprisingly enough all 10 friends did eventually text me back completely baffled at my question/exclamation. Two were somewhat concerned because of conversations we had had a few days earlier, seven responded once or twice but obviously weren't too interested in talking to me, and then one fine friend - who actually was the last to respond because she had just woken up - wanted to know every detail and find out exactly how I was doing. So, although I felt a little better because I had now become more popular in the world of texting than the friend next to me, I still didn't have the peace and quiet I wanted in the first place! Why!
